This invention relates to improvements in small packing-cases or boxesfor putting up small bottles of,

perfumery and other toilet-articles for market, and consists of a paper,wood, or other circular box, with separate compartments for each bottle,with large oval or othei` holes through the periphery, one to eachcompartment, and a deep cover closing down to the bottom of thevbox,also provided with holes, which, when properly adj listed on the box,will 'coincide with the holeswthrough the latter, so that the purchasermay, by turning the Cover on the box, see the labels on the bott-les,which are usually packed snugly, without removing them one by one, 'asis now required.

The said openings are closed by turning the cover on the box, and, whenso closed, the openings through the coverexpose'to View pictures on thebox.

Pictures H, or ornamental designs, may be placed on the parts of the boxexposed lto view through the holes in the cover, when it is turned toclose the holes in the sides of the box.
